Wall, a Denmark-born documentary director, married theSuccessionstar in 2016 after meeting him at a party in 2012. Together, the couple shares three daughters.
Though they tend to keep their relationship private, Wall chimed in during Strong’s 2021interview withThe New Yorkerwhen asked if she noticed a difference in her award-winning husband while he was playing Kendall Roy.
“He does a really good job of maintaining what he’s doing but also creating a space for the family and a normal life,” she said. Strong said his wife’s answer surprised him. “I think she feels a sort of energy shift,” he said. “But it does make me feel like I’m living a double life.”

Strong and Wall are the proud parents of three daughters: Ingrid, Clara and a third daughter whose name has not been shared.
In April 2018, Ingrid was born in Copenhagen after season one ofSuccessionwrapped filming. Strong says becoming a father changed him for the better.
“My life has changed a lot in the sense that there’s some sort of stable center,” hetoldGQin 2019. “I never had that before — I was always just kind of a transient and work was the only thing. And that feels different now, in a very good way. There’s something to come home to.”
Clara was born in November 2019, and the father of two later shared a special way he keeps both of his daughters close to him. During a virtual appearance onThe Late Late Show With James Cordenin October 2020, Strongshowcased a custom necklacededicated to his girls.
“On the back is my daughter’s footprint,” he told the host, referencing his eldest daughter. “And then my other daughter, I’ve got a bell. Her name is Clara, and the bell felt sort of clear and shining and bright, which is what her name means.”
Wall and Strong welcomed a third daughter in September 2021, but have not publicly revealed her name.

“I love Denmark. I find it a very sane and gentle place,” StrongtoldThe Guardianin 2021. “It feels like a refuge for me, and it’s great to have somewhere that’s a docking station after all this work, which I find very enervating and scary and stressful.”
